kind and sweet. Well, a lot of them are. These helpful fairies take
care of the forest and they're happy to do it. But I'm sorry to
tell you that some of the fairies, particularly the littlest ones,

favourite food... Characterful illustrations transport readers to
the animal-filled world of the fairy's forest, and easy to read
text is perfect for young readers. This wonderful, funny debut will

A subversive and hilarious spin on the well-loved fairy tale. The
three little wolves erect first a solid brick house. The big bad
pig comes along and when huffing and puffing fails to work, he uses
a sledgehammer to bring the house down. Next they build a home of
concrete: The pig demolishes it with his pneumatic drill. The three
little wolves choose an even stronger design next time round: They
erect a house, made of steel, barbed wire, armor plates and video
entry system, but the pig finds a way to demolish it too. It is
only when the wolves construct a rather fragile house made of
cherry blossoms, daffodils, pink roses, and marigolds that the pig
has a change of heart ... A great read for children who enjoyed The
Wolf's Story by Toby Forward. Kids aged 5 and up will enjoy this
hilarious, subversive and brilliant read aloud picture book. Eugene
